Well, it seems that our governor and his Cabinet (which he appointed) want to change the design of our license plates. It will save us, or the state, money but cost the state $31 million. Of course, this will be regained by not raising rates or anything.

We cut money going for schools and services, but we will collect more money because our police will be able to read the plates better. That way they will gain more money.

Also, the plates will be flat, the letters and numbers not raised. Of course, this will make it easier for criminals to change the numbers and letters.

In the past 30 years, our state has had the most attractive license plates, but the wizards in the capital feel that they should be changed. Don't these people have better things to do for the citizens of our state?
